Do you ever find yourself thinking, how could you be so stupid, you
look fat, or you're a horrible mother? Are you afraid people will
find out you've fooled them into thinking you're competent? If
you're guilty of expressing these types of discouraging messages,
then you have a bitch in your head. This self-critical behavior can
wreak havoc with your life-it can keep you from getting the love
you want, the raise you deserve, or even a good night's sleep. Dr.
Plumez began to notice a pattern with her patients being too hard
on themselves. She found that gentler approaches didn't work, but
when she told them they were being a bitch-to themselves!-they
finally recognized their self-defeating attitude and how much it
was weighing them down.With this book, Dr. Plumez can help you
banish the bitch. It identifies the different types of
"bitches"-work, marriage, parenting, and so on-and provides
effective tools and techniques to combat the forms of
self-destruction described. Once you begin to encourage rather than
criticize, you will find that your career, social life, and
relationships almost magically improve.
Saint Francis was born in 1182, the son of a wealthy merchant.
After a swashbuckling youth in Assisi, he had a change of faith and
decided to live the life that he ascribed to Jesus, one of poverty
and abstinence. He gave away everything he owned. His father
disowned him. But over the years he drew to himself a substantial
following of men and women and died revered and beloved in 1225.
Three years later he was canonized as Saint Francis of Assisi by
Pope Gregory IX. This lovely retelling of one of the lesser known
of the Saint Francis lessons centers on the legend of the great
wolf of Gubbio, a ferocious canine who terrorized the town and was
slowly reducing it to penury and starvation. In nearby Assisi,
Brother Francis heard of their plight and came to their rescue.
Unbelievingly, the villagers watched from the ramparts as Brother
Francis called to the wolf, tamed it with his tenderness, and made
it pledge that if the people of Gubbio would care for it, he would
do them no harm. He took the pledge and lived in harmony with the
citizens of the city until his death. Jane Langton has retold the
legend with her usual lucidity and grace and Ilse Plume, an
Italophile and the illustrator of three previous Godine books, has
supplied the rectos with illustrations that glow with the intensity
of Renaissance jewelry. A perfect gift for Easter or anyone who
embraces the relationship between man and the natural world.
At first glance it appears that little has happened in our
understanding of bronchogenic carcinoma, since five year survival
rates have not changed appreciably over the past ten years. This is
partially true, however the depth of our understanding has
increased and will continue to do so at a rapid pace over the next
five to ten years. Information on the basic tumor biology,
identification of important groups at high risk and im proved
delivery of cytotoxic agents in the treatment of lung cancer, will
all add to improve the outcome. The purpose of this text is to
provide useful background information and to serve as a reference
for approaching the patient with lung cancer. Therefore it will
serve as a review for some and as a beginning for others. An
important starting point in any discussion of lung cancer is an
epidemiological survey of the topic (Chapter I). For those who do
not avoid the hazards and present with symptoms, what is the most
logical approach in determining the diagnosis (Chapter II). This
chapter is intended to provide a general overview of the subjects
covered in detail in the remainder of the text."
Exploring Sociology: Readings for Introductory Sociology provides
students with a carefully selected collection of articles that
highlight the influence of social forces on all people regardless
of culture, ethnicity, gender, tradition, or faith. The anthology
provides readers an introduction to the study of sociology and
underscores how our lives are shaped in large part by external
forces. Section I familiarizes students with the sociological
perspective and ways in which to think sociologically. Section II
provides readers with an introduction to social science research
methods through a field experiment that investigates handwashing in
public bathrooms. In Section III, students learn about the concept
of culture, and in Section IV, socialization, group behavior, and
conformity. The reading in Section V demonstrates how behaviors
usually classified as deviant can be normalized given the right
social conditions. Section VI explores various types of
inequalities, including class, race, and gender. The final section
examines social institutions, including marriage, family,
education, religion, the economy, and government, and shows how
these institutions form the foundation of modern societies and
guide our daily lives. Engaging and approachable, Exploring
Sociology is an exemplary supplemental textbook for foundational
courses in sociology.
Based on over twenty years of classroom experience, Revealing Our
Social World: A Brief Introduction to Sociology is written with the
teaching sociologist in mind. Humorous, accessible, and informal,
the book introduces non-major students to the basic theories,
concepts, and terms of sociology. Revealing Our Social World is
organized into four sections, the first of which discusses the
basics of the sociological perspective and imagination, along with
the development of sociology as a discipline. In the second section
the material examines how people fit into their social landscapes.
This section features topics such as culture, socialization,
groups, social institutions, and deviance. The third section
addresses various forms of inequality, while the fourth examines
the structure of "the daily grind" as it applies to marriage and
family, religion, education, politics, and the economy. Each
chapter lays out the basic elements of the topic using vivid
cross-cultural examples and includes suggested readings, practical
activities, and a section titled "There's an App for That."
Revealing Our Social World is a fresh and engaging text for
introductory sociology courses at the undergraduate level.

Social media has provided endless opportunities for marketers,
fuelling their desire to learn more about their consumers through
this dynamic online environment. Yet many organisations are finding
it difficult to create effective marketing strategies, making
decisions that are based on research that is highly focused on the
nature and boundaries of social media. The changing behaviour of
consumers, variety of platforms and changing culture indicates that
much of the research around this topic is still highly fragmented.
Social Media in the Marketing Context: A State of the Art Analysis
and Future Directions provides a comprehensive overview of the
current literature surrounding social media and the marketing
discipline, highlighting future development opportunities in both
knowledge and practice.
